Well, I just hate to spoil all the summer suspense, but here’s the 49ers’ 53-man roster projection: QB (2): Colin Kaepernick, Blaine Gabbert Cut: Dylan Thompson Thompson, a rookie free agent, is obviously a strong candidate for the practice squad given the skimpy depth chart at this position. The 49ers didn’t use one of their …

So, I just touched down in rain-soaked Oakland (or is this Youngstown?) and was greeted by e-mailed transcripts from 49ers players provided by brilliant and generous beat writers Janie McCauley (Associated Press) and Grant Cohn (of the great Santa Rosa Press Democrat)! The duo was among other writers in Santa Clara today in the afterglow of the 49ers’ 24-23 comeback win in Philadelphia.

Here’s Niners cornerback Carlos Rogers, who says, among other things, that his new team has a distinctly un-Redskins vibe, right down to the head coach hanging with the players on the victory flight home:

Philadelphia — With his team trailing by 17 points and looking hopelessly outmatched, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said he delivered a simple halftime message Sunday:
“It was, we just need to play a little bit better,” Harbaugh said. “We just need t… …

The following is an edited excerpt from an interview with 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers by Tom Tolbert and Ralph Barbieri on KNBR. Last Sunday, Rogers had a key fourth-quarter interception in the 49ers’ victory over the Bengals.

Q:I don’t know that it necessarily pertains to your interception last Sunday, but what’s it like when the quarterback doesn’t see you and just throws the ball right at you?

A: It pertained to me that time, because actually I was looking for that route the whole game. I got that route throughout practice, I intercepted the ball a couple times, and throughout the game they were doing little quick ins and 5-yard outs, so as a nickel, you have to defend both ways. That particular time, he ran a 10-yard out, and I said if I get this route I’m gonna run in and undercut the route. By the time I did, I turned around and the ball was there.
